G'day Shredders,

Happy Thanksgiving! I trust you enjoyed your time with family and friends.

Well Shredders, 31 days down! You have now well and truly ingrained this powerful accountability habit into your routine. You have laid the foundation to make a head-turning physique transformation by January 8, 2008.

The flipside here is that if you don't feel you are making rapid enough progress after 4 weeks it can cause a loss of motivation and discipline. Therefore, in today's video I will "go back in time" and give you advice based on my Mission 1 pre-Christmas Shred last year.

Adam:I don't recall reading or listening to you explaining what your mission 4 is about, but by your pics I think it is safe to say that you are bulking and looking incredible. Are you cncentrating on lifting heavy with low reps and have your caloric intake increase?Keep pumping!

Another great video mate with some excellent information. However I have a question / comment / advice required not sure which. I was very interested to hear what you said about your eating and planning over the Christmas period. However I would be interested to see what your take is for those who want to indulge over the Christmas period.

I am very much committed to this whole way of life now and have been exercise wise for aroudn 2 years now, nutrition wise for about a year or so. However I am looking forward to indulging over the Christmas week. Not to absolute excess but at the same time I want to have this time as a good relax from a nutrition side of things, exercise will still continue in some way even when the gyms are shut but I will no doubt take Christmas day off as I think my wife may take issue with me going for a run!!!

So....any advice for those who want to indulge more than others, advice or words of warning??

Great video as usual, thanks for all the great info. I am excited to see what Christmas holds for all of us - I hope that we can all make it through still feeling great no matter what happens and continue the rest of the shred. So far no plateaus for me, hope I can avoid that for as long as possible with MS since it is always changing. Anyway, looking good and can't wait to see what your full set of goals is for M4. Talk to you soon!-JP

"The secret to staying motivated all the time is to set emotionally charged goals"I read this in your post on day 166 where you talk about Tom's book. Just like it did when you read it, this too jumped out at me.(I do not have Tom's book) Your video made me think of this quote. And I think this has been part of my problem...I havn't had an emotionally charged goal. But I think with the possibility of a Shredder Council meet up with you is cause for an emotionally charged goal. And this is what I will use to Charge me up!

Hey Adam,I havent been on your website in a while, I really like what you're doing with it, specially the whole shredder council. I gonna start with my workouts on dec 11, because the next two weeks are too hectic for me having to take final exams for school.... but from dec 11 i'll be able to post daily updates, maybe i'll join the council when it starts up again...... keep up thd good work...
